Lyric

"One more for the road," I said

A tired lie I’ve used a thousand times

But the neon sign is flickering red

And the clock on the wall is losing its mind

The amber’s fading in the glass

Watered down like the years we spent

I watched the ghost of "us" pass

And wondered where the fire went

The bartender’s wiping down the counter

The shadows are stretching across the floor

I’m reaching for a hand that isn’t there

One foot already out the door

When I finish this last pour

I’m leaving every memory on the wood

I won’t look back at that door

Even though I know I probably should

The burn in my throat, the ache in my chest

It’s the only way I know how to say goodbye

I’m giving this ghost a place to rest

Underneath a charcoal sky

I wasn’t brave then, but I’m trying now

To let you go without a sound

I used to think that love was a flame

Something to keep the winter at bay

But now it’s just a whispered name

In a bar that’s seen better days

You’re not coming through that light

I’ve stopped watching the handle turn

I’m just a man in the middle of the night

With a lesson I didn't want to learn

The ice is gone, the drink is cold

The story’s been told and told and told

I’m holding on to a glass of air

Pretending that you’re still sitting there

When I finish this last pour

I’m leaving every memory on the wood

I won’t look back at that door

Even though I know I probably should

The burn in my throat, the ache in my chest

It’s the only way I know how to say goodbye

I’m giving this ghost a place to rest

Underneath a charcoal sky

I wasn’t brave then, but I’m trying now

To let you go without a sound

The last drop hits the tongue like lead

Everything’s been done, everything’s been said

Just one more

No

No more
